This Canadian-made unit is for all of you that cringe just a little bit when having to input your credit card number to buy something online. The SmartSwipe is pretty much like its namesake in that it connects to your PC via USB and then allows you to make transactions by swiping your credit card through it. The cool thing about it is that you can use it on any computer, and it offers a layer of security because your number isn’t exposed to hackers who could steal it and cause you a serious headache.
